Nelson, a declared neutral between three top-running Democratic hopefuls, sdid the off-stage political deveolpments at the nonpartisan governors conference here had caused him to abandon his attempts to forestall a serious, primary contest in his state. Minnesota's Gov. Orville L. Freeman, co-chairman of the campaign committee for hi s state's Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, Tuesday challenged supporters of Massachusetts’ Sen. John F. Ken-

nedy to a Wisconsin primary fight. Massachusetts Gov. Fostei; Furcolo, a Kennedy backer, said the decision would be up to Kennedy, when and if he announces his candidacy, but he thinks his man would win the round. He was backed up in Washington by Wisconsin Sen. WiHiam Proxmire, who made public a state-wide poll which he said gave Kennedy a winning 42.5 per cent of the vote in a field of five po-

tential candidates, as of today. Proxmire. a Democrat, also polled his Republican constituents and said they favored Vice President Richard M. Nixon by more than four to one over New York’s Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller', in another potential Wisconsin primary fight. Nelson said he would still rather have Wisconsin Democrats select a favorite son candidate and avoid a serious contest ih the state whose early primary has frequent-

Ifey graved sudden death for presii dential hopefuls of both parties. , But Nelson said he was becoming resigned to the ‘‘Woody battle.” “I'm not trying to strong-arm . anyone to stay out,” Nelson told United Press Internationa.

Famed Poet Edgar Guest Dies Today DETROIT (UPD — Edgar A. Guest, poet-laureate of the plain people, died in his sleep at his home today. He was 77. His physician said he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, climaxing a long illness. In a career that spanned nearly 60 of his 77 years, Eddie Guest was the epitome of the poems he wrote. . .simple. . .folksy. . .homespun...deeply dedicated to the fireside and the simple virtues. He wrote more than 30,000 verses and was famous throughout the world for them because he struck a chord that motivated, the goodness of the common people. Perhaps the most famous lines he ever wrote were these: “It takes a heap o’ livin’ to make a house a home. “A heap o’ sun an' shadder, and ye sometimes have t’ roam. “Afore ye really ’predate the things ye lef’ behind, “And hunger for ’em somehow with ’em alius on your mind.” The" lines typified the style of nearly everything he wrote. He LiVed through war years and changing eras such as the "flapper” age and the “jazz” age. But the style and message of his poetry never changed, and his popularity remained. Guest, the son of a poor English immigrant whose first job in this country was in a Detroit brewery, worked for the Detroit Free Press for 64 years and for more than 50 of them his poems were printed daily. At one time, Guests poetry was syndicated and appeared in as many as 300 newspapers throughout the country. “Heap of livin’ ” published in 1916, was Guest’s most famous collection of poems. But he also turned out a book of war poems during World War I. entitled “Poems of Patriotism.” Among other volumes of poems were “Just Folks,” "The Passing Throng,” "The Path to Home,” and “The Light at Faith.” Guest’s verses have appeared daily in the Detroit Free Press for decades and he liked to consider himslf a working newsman rather than a poet But he was the living antithesis of the American newspaperman as depicted by motioh fretureT and television. One', biographer explained that Guest "thought in terms of cookie jars instead of gin fizzes.” He was born Aug. 20, 1881 in Birmingham, England, the son of an accountent. His family moved to Detroit in 1891. Guest entered the newspaper field as an office boy in the Free Press business office, and in 1895 moved “upstairs.” to the editorial office in the same capacity. He later became a police reporter.' His chance to write poetry came while he was the paper’s exchange editor. His job was to clip items out of other papers to be used as fillers. Frequently, Eddie would slip in one of his own poems. The editors finally caught on, and Guest was assigned to write a weekly column, "Chaff.” Later, he contributed “Blue Monday Chat,” which was expanded into a daily column, “Breakfast Table Chat.” His wife died Aug. 28, 1945. She was 60. Guest is survived by a son Edgar Jr. and a daughter, Mrs. Janet Sobel. Eliminates early Strickler Herd Wins Grand Championships A local cattle raiser walked off with two grand championships and a first prize in- a division at the ■ Hoosier gold medal cattle show Tuesday at Muncie. Gerald Strickler, local auctioneer and black angus rancher, shewed his herd against 285 of the best in the state and won two trophies which will be presented at the annual gold medal banquet in November. Showing at the Muncie fairgrounds, Strickler had the grand champion get-of-sire (three animals of one sire competing as a unit), the grand champion heifer, and a champion bull. The show, sponsored by the Indiana gold medal association, required that all entrants have gained at least a pound-and a half a day for heifers and two pounds a day for bulls. Strickler’s daughter, Sandra, recently won the grand championship at the courfty 4-H fair, showing another black Angus.- ■' -7 ■ -v — V.F.W> Post 6236 and if » AUXS. HonwatadokoCibtOn '.
